Default pics of shocks?

"A shock from a better quad does not a better handling quad make."

~ Yoda


It does work but the first 6 inch drop you will go off you will bottom out. The warriors shock fulcrum is much further in on the a-arm and much shorter, more force is excerted on a stock warrior shock on a warrior than a stock raptor shock on a raptor which is mounted further out. So the valving and preload will be terrible. Smoooooth as silk for trail riding but if you get the front end in the air it will bottom, it will also dive HARD in corners. unsafe.

I wouldnt even consider YFZ shocks, they are so long you will bottom them out just by mounting them, you will raise the ride height but decrease the travel to nill.

Pics updated..and no Warrior007 the shocks do not bottom out when dropping six inches..rode them hard yesterday with no problems..Went down many wooped out sections, with never finding the limits of the front shocks..even with zero preload.
